The Crown
Death Is Not Dead
1. Reign
[Instrumental]
2. Headhunter
Animal instinct - Grown deep into the inner sanctum
A cold heartless habitant - Holding a mighty crown of gold
Contagious blasphemy - Royal words attack the laws of nature
Brainwash machinery - Democracy through polluted majesty
Bullets lurk within the shadows - Masses biting dust
The people's choice hammered into oblivion
What if a sword came dancing on your throat?
What if a madman walked you down the aisle?
What if hell is where you live?
The fuse is lit, do you wanna burn?
Sleep with one eye open
Dream of crystal mayhem
Heaven cracks above you
Fragments of life spread down the gutter
Bullets lurk within the shadows - Masses biting dust
The people's choice hammered into oblivion
What if a sword came dancing on your throat?
What if a madman walked you down the aisle?
What if hell is where you live?
The fuse is lit, do you wanna burn?
Roll of the dice - Heads on a plate
Bestial devotion - 666 degrees of passion
Madness everlasting - Lunacy born from lunacy
The Devil's road to megalomania
The power to address you as nothing
What if a sword came dancing on your throat?
What if a madman walked you down the aisle?
What if hell is where you live?
The fuse is lit, do you believe?
3. Iblis Bane
Fallen our majesty - We live beneath ourselves
Awaken my destiny - And break the chains of time
Give me my crown!
Give me my sword!
I have immortal birthrights
So cleanse my soul - Not of this world
For it does reek of weak and mortal longing
Iblis bane
Tragedy - Disharmony - Damnation's bitter pride
Return to before the Fall - Adamic highest call
Give me my crown!
Give me my sword!
I shall face the deceiver
Who brought us down - Into despair
And made us blind to what we truly are now
Iblis bane - Iblis bane
Fallen - The veil is fallen - The truth is revealed
Awaken nobility - Sovereign pontifex
And in the end - All knees shall bend
The lost shall weep and perish
Give me my crown!
Give me my sword!
Evil shall be the Hell devouring itself!
Iblis bane - Iblis bane
Satan shatter Satan!
Iblis bane
4. Eternal
[originally by Paradise Lost]Why can't we hear
The time must come for us to leave here
Emotion has withered away
Our burnt out love has decayed
Obsessed to leave the earth
Tragedy has overrun since birth
Now our righteous father's weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away
Cry at all that remains
'Chosen words' fail to sustain
The wisdom of powers heard
In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd
Now as hope and glory dies
We'll scream at our demise
Are we lost forever more?
Now our righteous father's weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away
5. Struck By Lightning
Nothing did I suspect - Nor did I know
Of what I am - Of where I stand
I was ripped from Death - To (breathe) fresh air again
I saw Satan fall - Like lightning from the one
To the might of the absolute
My spirit is rising like snow ascending!
I thought I was free - So blind to my darkness
As lightning strikes inside
Light above light - Within and beyond
Forgotten realm
I stand here wide awake with the sight
Of one who already walks on the further shore
A laurel wreath among ruins
Struck by lightning
Nothing did I suspect - Nor did I know
Of what I am - Of promised lands
The eternal shall return - All error fade away
And into endless gates
I rise again!
To the might of the absolute
My spirit is rising like snow ascending!
I thought I was free - Still chained to our times
As lightning strikes inside
Light above light - Within and beyond
The forgotten realm
I stand here wide awake with the sight
Of one who already walks on the further shore
A laurel wreath among ruins
Dominus illuminatio mea - Vincit omnia veritas
Victory already won - But the war rages on and on...
And you cannot win!
So here I stand - Alone with the alone
Inside of the storm - Struck by lightning
6. Speed Kills (Full Moon Ahead)
Domestic disturbance - Provoking the dead innocent calm
Scarred, armoured, soulless - It's a red bloody dawn, yeah!
All guns blazing
Mentored in sickness
Mind triggered by a picture of false
Compassion and thoughts disabled
Eaten by hatred, reborn into bliss
Rendezvous at the heart of darkness
Clock strikes the hour of full moon confidential
Bulls eye carnage, insects squashed and spattered
Silenced and cleansed
Another roadkill down the line
Mask of Satan, trick or treat
Blue steel, disguise of the fucking century
No remorse, a madman's choice
Fire at will, bodies fall like pins
Rendezvous at the heart of darkness
Clock strikes the hour of full moon confidential
Bulls eye carnage, insects squashed and spattered
Silenced and cleansed
Another roadkill down the line
Roadkill!
Speed kills! At the heart of darkness
Speed kills! Yeah! He kills, kills and kills again
Speed kills! Yeah! Insects squashed and spattered
Speed kills! Another roadkill down the line
7. Herd Of Swine
March of undead Swine
Loss of heaven and higher sight
Unleash the masses into infra-human
All bewitched in their heads
Frozen hearts distorted and deformed
Fulfill the fall a thousand times
Lost in darkness
You deny the light inside
See the flame! Feel the flame!
Blinding light! Herd of swine!
You throw your spirits down
Trample your heart in dirt and misery
Sell your soul for nothing reckless nothing
Stay bewitched in your head
Frozen hearts distorted and deformed
Fulfill the fall a thousand times
The maximum exploitation of man lost in darkness
Oh, You deny the light inside!
See the flame! Feel the flame! Be the flame!
Burning light! Herd of swine!
Slipping into the innermost room of your heart and soul
A man with the head of a pig
Slipping unto your inner throne now
Darkening touch
All decay! Rotten fruit fermented wine
Stinking blood - A parody of power - Demons enter the swine
Drive them wild and insane - Drowning themselves in shit
See the flame! Feel the flame! Be the flame!
Burning light! Herd of swine!
Herd of Swine!!
In their heads! In their heads!
8. Horrid Ways
Running with the pack - Wildfire burning devils lane
Saints and sinners fight through the roles of fate
Are we heading up or down?
Where do the black rose grow my way!
Murders justified by a twisted truth of insanity
Holy deeds with war conclusion
Weight our souls with blood and bones
Are we heading up or down?
Where do the black rose grow my way?
Be the man you wanna be
Who the fuck is to say it's right or wrong?
On to the gates we march
Angels and demons breathing our necks
The Pit and the Pendulum rising from south bleeding our tails
Carnage!! Horrid ways of revelation
Entangled in bitter choices where mind is torn apart
Flesh follow flesh, in agonizing pain
Those led astray wanders a crimson soil
Seeking a righteous path and the becoming of the end
Are we heading up or down?
Where do the black rose grow my way
Be the man you wanna be
Who the fuck is to say it's right or wrong?
On to the gates we march
Angels and demons breathing our necks
The Pit and the Pendulum rising from south bleeding our tails
Life offers all grades of joy
Life offers all grades of pain
We are but stray dogs in a maze
Fighting our way around the bend
On the last day when it rips you wide open
Why can't death just be the end? Yeah!
Why can't death just be dead?
9. Ride To Ruin
Out of death - Out of darkness
We came riding - Like the dawn
Beyond hope - When all light is gone
Still we go on against iron and flame
Out from the path that never dies
The sound of thunder rise
Like a storm from heaven
Warhorses charging forth!
Now for wrath divine - Final battle
Time for Valkyries - And the worlds ending
Die! Ride to ruin! Death! Ride to ruin!
Valhall awaits!
Paradise
Heaven
10. Meduseld
11. Godeater
Spawned by God almighty
Sworn to the church - Embraced by rabid wings
Gold digger of the cloth
Powered by the poor and the weak
Godeater
Eating from inside
Godeater
Devouring the skin I live in
Bloody hands of Christ
Unto the head behold
Breaching man, let him be whole
Scavenger feast on empty souls
Delivering divinity divided
Darkly dreaming Christ
Godeater
Eating from inside
Godeater
Devouring the skin I live in
Vulture and snake ahead
Sworn to the cross
Embraced by darkened storm
The Crown of all things holy
Bloodstained at heavens abyss
Delivering divinity divided
Darkly dreaming Christ
Eating From Inside
Devouring the skin I live in
I am Godeater
Plastic faces gathered in mist
Bathing in silk, praying in gloomy halls
Sterile and pale - To ash and dust they march
What lies in mind is conceived by greed and southern beast
I am the Godeater
Yeah, they call me the Godeater
Christ
12. We Come In Peace (Piece By Piece)
Evil slithering down the black heart of heaven
Demons with snake tongues at your every doorstep
Oh, we come in peace - The dark side of the moon
Yeah, we come in peace - Piece by piece
Light speed through infinity
They've come for us all
Dragons assassinate under a starlight funeral
Oh, we come in peace - The dark side of the moon
Yeah, we come in peace - Piece by piece
Extinction! Creature of habit
Jaws into flesh - Year of the beast!
Burst down in flames and in chaos!
Depopulate - We're food for the wicked
To the death and beyond!
On and on to the death and beyond!
Time to die!
Warzone! Creature of Satan urge for the kill
Year of the end! Society in darkness head down
Friendly face - It's a fools day Armageddon!
To the death and beyond!
On and on to the death and beyond!
Time to die!
We Come In Peace - Piece By Piece
We Come In Peace - Piece By Piece
13. Agent Orange
[originally by Sodom]Operation Ranch Hand
Spray down the death
Down on their farms
Assault against the population
Suppress by military arms
Only you prevent the forest
Legalize the war
They are deprived of their power
Eradication without law
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
A fire that doesn't burn
All the marks erased long ago
Scars are healed up
Cancer creeps into their innocent souls
Memorials of flesh and blood
Have survived unlawfully punished
Poisoned till the end of their lives
Physical deformity
What medicine will help?
Still births will rise
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
A fire that doesn't burn
Grieved weak hearts are crying
Waiting for the end
In this condition they are dying
Newborns of the damned
Preserved in test tubes for generations
Vicious circle of transmission
There's no way for reparations
Must live with chemical agent called
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
A fire that doesn't burn
Agent Orange... burn
Agent Orange... burn
Agent Orange... burn
